I decided to rewrite this, as I felt like I could do better. I'll try to get back on track soon. Different pairing.

Warning, I'm planning on it being a poly ship.

3rd POV

Inside the cosmos in Universe Seven amongst the chaotic galaxy was a large station floating in the blackness. Closer inspection revealed the Galactic Patrol HQ, an organization that tried to put a cap on crime within their Universe, though they weren't powerful enough to be a nuisance to Frieza, they settled with going after criminal organizations who weren't under the tyrants' hand.

Even though Frieza's empire was struggling to regain forces, it was still not wise to go after his army given Frieza's reputation and attitude towards those who opposed his reign. Thankfully, their ship was heading in the opposite direction of Frieza, sticking to the safer sector of Universe 7.

It was a rare occasion, a once in the blue moon scenario. For the first time in….who knows how long, Merus had to check on the prisoner's cells individually, mainly to check if they were safe to themselves.

For safety concerns, all prisoners were kept in separate cells. Mainly to prevent any scheming for an escape attempt or the infighting that usually happened there.

Merus disliked this as it was rather lame in comparison to other parts of the job. It was a long distance from locking away criminals to checking on them after hours and making sure they weren't doing anything forbidden.

He went to check on the individual cells, examining them as he walked by. First there was the emotionless android 7-3, who's blank eyes gazed at him as he sat in his cell, following his movement without blinking.

Disturbed by this robotic mannerism, Merus quickly sped over to the next cell, seeing Shimorekka, who upon seeing the elite, stuck his tongue out in a provocative manner at him. The elite glared at him with disdain before moving past him."Disgusting…"

Numerous cell checks later, he got over to a cell with a blush colored female with over sized glasses. She had strawberry colored pigtails. Her royal blue prison outfit was torn to resemble shorts and had bandages resembling stockings on her legs with large black boots. She laid down in a curled up position, not even acknowledging his presence.

If he hadn't been the one to arrest her, he would have thought she was an innocent young woman. If he hadn't seen her attitude within a fight, you wouldn't believe she was a part of Saganbo's Galactic Bandit Brigade. She just had the looks to fool others for the most part along with her other female associates. Her name was..what was it? Oh, Iwaza.

Normally, he would've passed her, seeing as she was just another prisoner within their walls. He shouldn't be that concerned about an inmate, after all, they plenty of them.

However, the curled up position was unnatural and rather strange. Most prisoners were either sitting on their backs, or counting on their fingers to pass the time. She was simply on the ground in a fetal position as though she was in pain.

He hadn't done prison check often, but he knew Iwaza wasn't the type to lay around in a fetal position. She usually was very physically active given her occupation as a criminal.

He knocked on the glass."Is something the matter with you? Your position is unnatural."

"..." She slowly moved on her side, ignoring him. She didn't need to admit her problems to the person who arrested her, especially since this was cold and emotionless she was with.

Merus sighed."Iwaza, if you're going to ignore me, I will leave. I'm just asking for the sake of your well being and you refuse to cooperate."

No response. Merus scoffed."Tch! Fine, since you are stubborn and refuse my help."

Iwaza watched as Merus walked away from her cell. A few minutes later the lights turned off. She groaned to herself as she laid against the padded cell. It was time for them to go to sleep.

Everyone was fast asleep, but she couldn't go to bed. She was too hungry, her stomach kept bothering her anytime she tried to force herself to sleep, her hunger stabbed her awake.

She hadn't had anything to eat. That stupid gluttonous bear ate the food, Yunba ate so much that he forced food off of other prisoners , even though she was part of the Brigade too."Ugh….I'm starving…" She forced her eyes shut, even with the constant pangs of hunger bothering her.

Unknown to her, Merus was watching through the security system. One of his coworkers forgot to shut the light and he had come to turn it off. However his curiosity got the better of him, and decided to snoop onto the cameras and check on the prisoners. He got to her cell, noticing she hadn't fallen prey to slumber like her fellow criminals.

"That's strange. Everyone should be asleep…" He didn't require sleep due to his divinity, but it was strange given Iwaza's race required sleep regularly and that she was still twisting around in the cell.

For some reason, a small part of him felt pity for her. Though he wasn't certain what he could do in this position. She appeared to need food, though where could he get it from? He turned to his lunch box, he didn't require sustenance of any kind...so an idea came to mind.

Angels can eat...but it wasn't a requirement. His mind reminded him that he couldn't go around feeding prisoners or helping them, but his rational side faded as he stared at the iPad and back at the lunch box.

He could live without food, not like he liked eating much in the first place…

Begrudgingly, he grabbed the box and quietly snuck to her cell. He gently knocked on the glass between them, causing the female inmate to look towards him tiredly. She just managed to get to sleep and now she was being forced awake again, so her expression was irritated with silent anger.

"You again? What now? Can't you see I'm trying to get some shut-eye?

"Iwaza, do not give me that attitude. You should be thankful I even care enough to do this."

"Do what? Why are you even at my cell anyway?"

"I've reluctantly taken pity on your state. I'm not supposed to do this, however I'll make an exception this time."

He silently opened a compartment where approved items could be delivered to the prisoners(of course they had to be examined before delivery) and slipped the meal inside.

Her eyes widened, she hadn't had a decent meal in days! Her big break finally arrived at long last!

She grabbed the bag and began to eat it. Merus quickly turned his back, knowing that someone might notice him. She looked at Merus before lowly muttering."Thanks Officer..."

The darkness hid his stunned expression. That was the first time a prisoner said anything nice to him, it was a bit unsettling, but he had to admit it felt...welcoming for once.

While it did sound forced, it was better than her ignoring him,"Don't mention it to anyone. This is simply a rare occurrence." He said coldly.

He didn't like the idea of his comrades thinking he was getting soft. He still had a reputation to uphold.

"Whatever you say." She shrugged as Merus disappeared within the darkness. The small act of kindness was rare within a place like this, especially for an elite like Merus, to come to her cell of all places, and give her his lunch. She wasn't sure what to think of that to be honest.

All she knew was that Kikaza and Miza wouldn't believe this is she said it.
